This is a tough time for any automaker to launch an all-new battery-electric vehicle — at least in the U.S. — and yet Volvo is doing it, delivering on its promise for a two-row crossover that borrows much of the packaging and aesthetic of its most popular gasoline-powered five-passenger XC60 crossover.
Volvo has been teasing us with information trickled out in recent weeks about range and connectivity for the 2027 Volvo EX60, but today we get to see it in full sheetmetal and admire the uniquely calm Scandinavian interior with ground-breaking seatbelt technology.
Volvo Wants To Give Its Customers Something They Never Asked For
The EX60 will use the Google Gemini AI assistant, which could simplify the driver interface — or become a source of frustration.
Delivery Starts In Summer
If you like what you see and have no reservations about diving into the EV world (or maybe you already have), then you will be able to order an EX60 in the U.S. starting in late spring and taking delivery starting in summer.
Volvo will start manufacturing the EX60 in Sweden starting in April, which means Americans will pay more for it in the form of tariffs, which currently amount to 15 percent but could go to 25 percent on Feb. 1 if the Trump administration stands firm on its demand for Greenland. Yes, Greenland, that super power we’ve all feared for decades, could impact the price you pay for the EX60.
Cross Country Version
It’s not just one EX60 that’s coming to market. For the adventurous types, the EX60 Cross Country will offer two all-wheel-drive powertrains with at least 300 miles of range.
Last year Volvo launched a Cross Country version of its smaller all-electric EX30 crossover, so it’s fitting to have similar capability for the EX60. The Cross Country variant will start arriving later in the year, after the standard EX60. We’ll also have to wait a bit longer for detailed pricing info, but Volvo says it will be on par with the XC60, which starts around $51,000.
This One’s Just Right
The EX60 is intended to fit neatly in Volvo’s electric crossover portfolio. While the EX30 is compact and designed to be affordable (starting around $39,000), the three-row EX90 is more luxurious and starts around $80,000, leaving a huge gap for a “just right” Goldilocks model that is more practical for growing families and more spacious for everyday living, without the EX90’s big ticket price.
P6 Is Base Powertrain
Arguably, the EX60’s most intriguing asset will be its range, which Volvo claims to be best-in-class with up to 400 miles on a single charge with AWD. Three powertrain packages are available, all capped at a top speed of 112 mph.
The entry powertrain is called P6, which uses an 83-kWh (80-kWh usable energy) battery fueling a rear electric motor with 369 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque.
Range with this base powertrain depends on the selected wheels: 310 miles with 20-inch rims, 300 miles with 21-inchers, 290 miles with 22-inch wheels. Acceleration to 60 mph is estimated at 5.7 seconds.
P10 Range Up To 320 Miles
Stepping up to the P10 AWD powertrain gets a 95-kWh (91-kWh usable) battery running front and rear electric motors combining for 503 horsepower and 524 pound-feet of torque. Range steps up slightly from the P6 to 320 miles (20-inch rims), 310 miles (21-inch) and 300 miles (22-inch). Zero to 60 mph takes 4.4 seconds with the P10.
P12 Cranks 670 HP
There’s still one more powertrain, the P12 AWD, which sounds like a hoot (0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds) with 670 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque from front and rear motors fueled by a 117-kWh battery (112-kWh usable).
This is your only chance for an EX60 with 400 miles of range, if you choose the 20-inch rims. With 21- and 22-inch wheels, expect range of 390 miles and 375 miles, respectively.
80% Charged In 18 Minutes
A 19.2-kW onboard charger is standard with all three powertrains, while Volvo says the P6 can DC fast charge to 80 percent in 18 minutes at 350 kW. If you can find a working 400-kW fast charger, the P10 and P12 powertrains can reach 80 percent charged in 18 minutes and 19 minutes, respectively.
If You Only Have 10 Minutes
If you only have 10 minutes at a 400-kW station, Volvo says the P6 can add 160 miles of range, compared to 165 miles for the P10 and 173 miles for the P12.
In the United States, Volvo says the EX60 will be its first car with a native NACS charging port, giving customers direct access to more than 25,000 DC fast chargers on the Tesla Supercharger network. No adapter will be necessary.
Cross Country 0 to 60 In 4.5 Seconds
If you’re interested in the EX60 Cross Country, you’ll choose between the P10 and P12, both AWD, of course, and those performance specs are virtually identical to the standard EX60, with a few exceptions.
Acceleration for the Cross Country is a 10th slower at 4.5 seconds 0 to 60 in the P10, while that time for the P12 is still listed as “pending.” Also pending is the 10-minute charge time for the P12, and the P10 charges slower in the Cross Country, in 155 minutes.
Curb Weight Starts At 4,663 Lbs.
Both Cross Country models come with 21-inch rims and all-season tires, which means 300 miles of range in the P10. The range estimate for the P12 is pending.
Curb weights are listed between 4,663 pounds and 5,137 pounds for the EX60, while the Cross Country curb weight starts at 5,060 pounds. All P10 and P12 powertrains can tow 4,500 pounds while the smaller P6 can tug 3,600 pounds.
Ground clearance with one occupant starts out at 7 inches, but the available air suspension in the Cross Country cranks that up to 7.6 inches. Volvo says every EX60, regardless of trim, can wade through 17.7 inches of water.
‘We Remove All Remaining Obstacles’
Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars, says this electric crossover, built on the SPA3 platform, delivers on key new technologies, such as mega casting, cell-to-body construction and core computing.
“The new, all-electric EX60 changes the game in terms of range, charging and price and represents a new beginning for Volvo Cars and our customers,” Samuelsson says. “With this car, we remove all remaining obstacles for going electric.”
